Examination of Volatile Bases in Tobacco / Untersuchung der Flüchtigen Basen des Tabaks
By: G. Neurath, H. Ehmke and K.H. Müller
Abstract
A method for the determination of the steam-volatile non-pyridinic bases content of tobacco is described.
140 varieties of tobacco were examined. Burley tobaccos were found to contain 0.35 to 1.36 per cent of nitrogen in the form of low-boiling volatile amines. Oriental tobaccos contained 0.20 to 0.55 per cent and Virginia tobaccos of different origin contained 0.15 to 0.35 per cent. Methods of controlling the content of volatile bases in tobacco are discussed.
